The actor learns that Robert is actually a former acquaintance from his past, who harbored resentment and ambition. This revelation adds depth to the narrative of revenge and betrayal.
Theater people are known to be superstitious, so when I heard about the play "Blood and Silver" and its deadly reputation, I wasn’t entirely surprised.
I was, however, intrigued.
It’s not every day you get to work on something that might kill you.
The story went that the playwright had been inspired by an ancient ritual, and as he wrote the play, he became more and more unhinged.
When it was finished, he handed it over to a director, who spent hours poring over the manuscript.
The next morning, he was found dead, hanging from a tree in his backyard.
From that moment on, no one dared touch the play.
It was said that if you even read the script aloud, death would come for you.
So when I found the manuscript buried in a dusty corner of an antique bookstore, I knew I had to have it.
I brought it home and spent hours poring over the words.
They were dark and twisted, full of images of blood and silver, of death and decay.
As I read, I felt a shiver go down my spine, but I couldn’t look away.
This was going to be my masterpiece.
Over the next few weeks, strange things happened.
Actors who auditioned for parts in the play fell ill shortly after leaving my office.
One broke her ankle on her way home; another came down with pneumonia.
A third simply disappeared.
After another actor collapsed on stage during rehearsal, I retreated to my office and pulled the manuscript out of my drawer.
As I opened it, the pages felt strangely cold in my trembling hands.
I flipped through them, but as I looked at the words, they began to change.
They were no longer just lines of dialogue; they were dark stains spreading across the page.
Like blood seeping through cloth.
Suddenly, my desk lamp flickered, casting dancing shadows on the walls.
I reached for my lighter, but my fingers froze inches away from it.
The words seemed to writhe on the page, forming new patterns.
And then a gust of wind came out of nowhere, sending the pages scattering across the floor.
When I gathered them up, they were in a different order.
A warning had been spelled out: "Turn back now."
I gathered the pages from the floor, my hands shaking as I arranged them on my desk.
The warning glared up at me, crude letters formed by dark crimson blotches.
My throat tightened, but I forced myself to keep reading.
The words seemed to writhe on the page, forming new patterns.
I saw scenes I hadn’t noticed before: a ritual sacrifice, an ancient god rising from the earth.
A pounding headache began to form behind my eyes, but I kept reading.
I made careful notes of each revelation, even though my vision was beginning to blur.
When I reached to turn the final page, my fingers left red marks on the paper.
